The dictations are 'under review' at the moment. In other words, I'm giving them a big overhaul to make them better, more dynamic, and to include all sorts of Learning Management System related functions.

I compiled the old ones in Actionscript 2.0 and now I'm compiling them in Actionscript 3.0 (Flash). AS 3.0 knocks the socks off AS 2.0 and can run up to 10 times faster. It's also a fully object oriented language now which means it's much easier and more efficient for creating more complex programs.

The final 'product' wouldn't require any programming skill at all to create your own dictations. You'd just have to use the SWF template along with whatever media MP3 files, video and/or images you want to use, depending on the SWF template you're using, and edit a simple XML file that contains all the dialogues, questions and answers in text, and references (URLs) to all the media files. You can achieve all this using open source (free) software and no programming expertise.
